Fusion Dances – MartianMusic

Arranged by: Brian Aguilar
Time: 7:40
Grade: 4
Price: $695.00

Fusion Dances mixes “classical” music with different elements of dance for the color guard. This grew out of the desire to simultaneously explore the rich library of classical music, expanding the students’ experience with some of the greatest pieces ever written, while allowing the color guard a chance to develop their dance skills. Fusion Dances explores 4 distinct dance styles that might not typically be associated with the music of the era.

In the Fall of 2018 Brian Aguilar made major modifications to his arrangement of Danse Macabre, as well as a few minor tweaks to REO Remix. Both updated versions are represented here.
